How many Trick or Treaters did you get?

[Imp]

Yep. Bible belt.......

rebelcowboy,

I completely don't understand. Explain this please. I have never heard of trick or treating a day early. And why didn't I know about this when I was 10.

You'll have none left for YOU if they keep it up...

Probably a good thing. I'm diabetic with little willpower around chocolate. I bought all stuff I don't care for and still have eaten several pieces.

Imp- hopes my doctor isn't a member of BYC.

At 114 now, but it's getting quiet.​

I'm headed to imp's house. LOL

I'm turning off the porch lights now. We probably had 75+. I think some of those kids were here twice.

Next time come to our neighborhood! I think everyone in Hesperia comes here (only neighborhood with sidewalks within several miles). Last year we had a Xerox paper box (the ones that contain 10 reams of paper) FULL and it was gone by 7:30 (one piece per kid). This year we filled a large ice chest FULL. We are almost out of candy (2 per kid..except the big kids (near 18)..they get one). I couldn't even count how many kids we get...couple hundred over the course of the evening I would suspect.

DANG!!!! I'll be there next year!!!!

We ran out of candy at the trunk or treat at the Church last night, so all I had were the 400 toothbrushes.
They were gone before 8:30PM at one per trick or treater.

We even close off our street on both ends and folks park along the East-West roads to enjoy "Halloween on 35th" It's a big party here every year.

None! Due to the location of my house I could easily have hundreds. Everyone else on my street seems to have had the same idea I had. Our street was pitch black. People didn't even have their living room lights on (couldn't see them through curtains, at least).

Now last night, on the other hand, my street was party town. Half the houses on the street had stuff happenin'. None looked like any fun to go to, though. It looked like mostly family stuff.

So, no party crashing last night, I'm afraid...

Its custom for local governments to ask people to not trick or treat on Sundays. They come up with all kinds of reasons to keep from saying its because of church. Then again few are home on a Sunday night so you wouldn't get any candy anyway.

Only one kid came to the door, but we didn't have any trick-or-treaters last year so didn't expect any this year. We didn't buy candy and didn't turn on the light. Our grandson (he's 2) came by later in the evening and just couldn't understand why he couldn't go out and play with the bock-bocks at 8:45 p.m., so I carried him out to the henhouse (all decked out in his little Superman costume!), explaind to him to whisper because the hens are sleeping, and he put his finger to his lips and went "shhhhhh", and then he got to say goodnight to the bock-bocks. Kids are SO easy to please.

See? Even Superman loves backyard chickens.....

 

[NellaBean]

Yep, I live in the county area between two cities. One had halloween stuff last night and one had halloween stuff tonight. I had no idea which day kids might actually show up. Not that any did

More candy for meeeeee.

Thanks rebel...

I certainly did not clue into it was Sunday. So that makes a certain kind of sense.

The town in Alaska I grew up in had 52 churches and 52 bars, Can you tell which side of the street I frequented?

I'm glad at least a few others had T & T fun on Halloween. I was totally surprised by having 115. Only 10 off the record from 14 years ago. I was only expecting about 30. I do have a few pieces of candy left. Another difference was the demographics. I had little kids until 9pm. Usually I just get the kids until about 8pm then teens and creepy adults till 9pm. NO creepy adults this year. Oh! and by the way the kids all had adults with them, so that was good.

I think I should mail my LO candy to debi, for Robert.

and geepy, you are welcome at imp's house.

Gallo,
I keep saying I'm moving to Tucson. I spent a week there a few years ago and fell in love with it. It is very different from my first love- Seattle.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween,

Imp- having his own version of candy- Guinness Extra Stout
